Sunday March 7 is the only date listed that would work for me. I work early in the morning and weekday night are no good for me since i am asleep by 7pm.
-
I am good with any of those dates
-
Thanks all for the draft updates. I’ll take another look tomorrow based on updated responses and see if there’s something that works. As for divisions, I’m open to additional thoughts from those who prefer to get rid of or keep them. And Queen City will be back next year - I’ve messaged with him and there was a hiccup with his payment renewal, but he should be back shortly.

Do we need a manager for Queen City? Niv said that he was marking teams that have not renewed as expired.

I am available all of those times except Thursday, March 7th. I am on vacation that day and am not available in the afternoon or evening.

I already have drafts on 2/26 and 3/7. I'll have to try and find a proxy I think. As for playoff teams, I really am fine with ANY amount of teams as long as everyone fields a competitive line up throughout the entire season.
I brought up the division because they're useless. Not even sure why they're even an option. I just don't see value and/or point to them. Maybe I'm wrong and someone can shed light why they exist.
-
I'll propose keeping things is as now, but perhaps we can put things up for a vote at the end of this season (before the off-season). I would be less concerned about making changes at that point in the schedule.

As for the division/playoff polls, none of the options received unanimous or near-unanimous support:
- 6 votes in favour of switching to 6 playoff teams (4 against, 2 abstain).
- 7 votes in favour of switching to no divisions (4 against, 1 abstain)
- 4 votes in favour of realignment (6 against, 2 abstain).

Thanks everyone for filling out the draft poll. Unfortunately, it looks like there are no days that work for everyone. The dates with the fewest conflicts are:
- Mon, Feb 26
- Tues, Mar 5
- Thurs, Mar 7
- Sun, Mar 17 (afternoon)
If you indicated that you were not available on those dates, can you please let me know if you can make those work?
If we can't find something that works for everyone, the two options are likely (1) find proxies, or (2) slow d

Thanks for all responses so far. I'll give it a couple more days. I'm hoping we can finalize a draft date soon.

Just voted in the poll. I'm indifferent to most of this. I'm not sure we need to expand the playoffs, but totally fine with getting rid of divisions (or realigning).
-
It allowed me to abstain from answering the realignment question (which I did because I have no preference). Should help if others lack a strong opinion on certain items

For the playoffs/division poll:
- If we expand to 6 playoff teams, this will limit playoff matchups to 1 week (except for the finals)
- I lean towards not making changes unless there is unanimous or near-unanimous agreement (just as a matter of fairness - since people may have joined based on the specific settings). Having said that, please feel free to add comments here (in addition to voting) so we can get a sense of "strong opinions" vs. "I don't really care much,

Hi all,
Here is the poll for draft date (please select ALL dates/times that work): http://whenisgood.net/1285draft
Here is the poll for divisional realignment and number of playoff teams: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1TRuqKPnbCNvV4zapUCRFglLMFBh6NQm5xJHzepJ8ITg

If there's consensus (or near-consensus) on changing/eliminating divisions and changing the number playoff teams, we can certainly do that. I'll send out a poll (along with a poll for draft date) shortly.

I might lose my slim chances of making the playoffs without our divisions, but I guess the logic behind that is a good reason to get rid of them. Would be a big improvement in the sense that all the best teams have a chance at the title. So I'm in favour.
-
I'm with ya on that too. I just checked with Niv and he did say both of those changes were fine. Just no Custom stuff. Custom stuff is like arb coupons or milb rosters, etc.
-
As it relates to expanded playoffs (and divisions, if that's relevant), I prefer to keep our league OPL compliant. Not sure if either of those changes would impact that
-
Pretty sure that an option is still no divisions or just two. I'd also like to discuss expansion play-offs as well. Simply to keep teams more engaged for longer. This affected me in both of my football leagues as those out of it, neglected to set line ups. One of my leagues had 3 divisions and the other - no divisions. Both were affected. Just another two cents that could tie in to the division(s) talk.
-
As someone who has had the full force of my division impact my playoff landscape 2 of the 3 years in this league, I'd love to see them go. Not sure what the optionality is for that though. In the end, I would be fine if they stayed, would enjoy seeing them go.
-
I don't think "rivalries" exist even with divisions so if that is the only benefit then I say no.

I don't have any strong feelings either way, but this league had some balance issues among the divisions last year that could be eliminated

Happy New Year fellas....We're creepin' closer to the season. I was thinking about getting the Winter Meetings underway with a thought. How does everyone feel about divisions? I think the premise is great to create rivalries however I think in this day and age, I just don't see that much anymore. That's my take on it anyway. I, myself am not a fan of divisions - especially three of them. I know I could be on an island here so please chime in if you have a preference.

Welcome!

Cheers!! Excited to be here, i'll be back in a couple of days when i can settle up with this league and start making some moves.

I don’t plan to renew my team. Made my arbitration allocations, but feel free to replace me before arb ends if you find someone. I want to spend less time on fantasy next year and keeping up with Blue Jays is a full-time gig. Thank you all for having me. I think I left my team in decent shape for either contention or a tear down.

Thanks everyone for the great season. It looks like I am going to get to hold on to the gold trophy but it was a lucky week more than anything. Blue Jays and Windy City Zephyrs had some monster teams this season, and probably more deserving of the crown. Looking forward to the off-season and continuing to build

I think the deadline for *completing* auctions is when the season ends (so auctions must be started 48 hours before season end).

Can someone remind me - is there a cutoff to opening free agency auctions before the season ends, or does it just cut off when the season ends?

Nail biter between me and Mad Teeth this week. I had him by 150+ on Thursday or so...he clawed back and we exchanged leads a couple times today. I was watching the end of the Mets/SF game on the edge of my seat.

I had a forgettable week and scraped by a win I didn't deserve ... Shoulda been you!

Appreciate you windy the last few wins I've had have been real hard to come by. A lot of parody this year gotta love that with a playoff scenario at the end.
